Pupils working solely on the core list are expected to:

• research at least another 3 words ending in 'able' or 'ible'; try to choose challenging words to add to your list, or
• 3 personal words (errors) from previous weeks / or 3 words of your choice.

Remember if you spelt any words incorrectly, you will need to learn these so you can transfer them to your 'friendly' word list in your 'Helpful Spelling Jotter'

P7 Useful Word list
For those pupils working on Useful Words/Personal Spelling Words, they should learn words on the following list, which you have selected for your group.
